focus is medical and refractive corneal surgery, particularly the management of refractive laser surgery complications and the treatment of corneal ectatic disorders.&nbsp;He was instrumental in the clinical development and international establishment of corneal cross-linking (CXL) for the treatment of keratoconus, ectasia after LASIK and infectious keratitis..<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, Prof. Hafezi was appointed to the University of Geneva, where he headed the Ophthalmic Clinic until 2014 as Chairman and Full Professor.<\/p>\n<p>Hafezi holds an adjunct professorship in Los Angeles at the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California (USC) since 2012, and in 2015, he started as Medical Director of the ELZA Institute in Dietikon and as Group Leader of the Ocular Cell Biology research group the Centre for Applied Biotechnology and Molecular Medicine at the University of Zurich. In 2017, Prof. Hafezi was made a Visiting Professor in the&nbsp;Faculty&nbsp;of Medicine at Wenzhou Medical University, Wenzhou,&nbsp;China.<\/p>\n<h2>Study and Research<\/h2>\n<p>From 1993 to 1994 he completed a two-year postgraduate course in experimental medicine and biology at the ETH and University of Zurich (now Master of Science in Biology), followed by 3 years of research in the Retinal Cell Biology Laboratory at the Eye Clinic of the University of Zurich.&nbsp;His research focused on molecular mechanisms of retinal degeneration.&nbsp;He identified the first gene that completely prevented light-induced retinal damage (<a href=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/academia.edu.documents\/44714726\/Hafezi_F._et_al._The_absence_of_c-fos_pr20160413-1013-10cn6nw.pdf?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAIWOWYYGZ2Y53UL3A&amp;Expires=1553503865&amp;Signature=SlpJgB6X9DN6%2F1Hl92IU%2FWqLTfA%3D&amp;response-content-disposition=inline%3B%20filename%3DThe_absence_of_c-fos_prevents_light-indu.pdf\">Hafezi et al., Nature Medicine, 1997<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Since 2002 he has been actively involved in corneal research and was instrumental in the clinical development of CXL for the treatment of keratoconus. His work has helped expand the application of CXL to children and other corneal ectactic disorders like post-LASIK ectasia and Terrien Marginal Degeneration, and also for the treatment of corneal infections and ulcers.<\/p>\n<h2>Publications, International Activities<\/h2>\n<p>You can find his research profiles here: <a
